If you have direct deposit set up, you don't need to do anything at this time!
Eligible taxpayers who filed tax returns for either 2019 or 2018 and chose direct deposit of their refund will automatically receive an Economic Impact Payment of up to $1,200 for individuals or $2,400 for married couples and $500 for each qualifying child.
Individuals who receive Social Security retirement or disability benefits, SSDI or who receive Railroad Retirement benefits, but did not file a return for 2019 or 2018 will automatically receive a payment in the near future.
If you do not have direct deposit set up or need to update:
- Coming soon, the IRS will open Get My Payment (click this link), where you can :
- Check your payment status,
- Confirm if you want a check or direct deposit, and
- Enter your bank or credit union information (routing number and account number)
